Allen & Overy is Slovakia’s International Law Firm of the Year for the fourth time in a row

Allen & Overy Bratislava has won the main, overall award in the category “International Law Firm of the Year 2017” for the fourth time in a row at the annual Slovak Law Firm of the Year competition.

In addition to this notable success, Allen & Overy also topped the Banking & Finance category. The winners were announced on 25 April at the Radisson Blu Carlton Hotel Bratislava, with the ceremony being attended by leading law firms, clients, senior judges and media representatives.

The Slovak Law Firm of the Year event is the leading local competition for legal professionals organised by the publishing house EPRAVO Group, in cooperation with TREND magazine. The winners are chosen by an independent panel of judges from the legal and business sector and EPRAVO Group, an independent company which monitors the activities of lawyers in Slovakia.

Commenting on the team's excellent results against strong competition, Managing Partner Martin Magál said: “This is the fourth time in a row we have won the award as International Law Firm of the year, on the basis of votes of local clients and market participants. Every year it gets more difficult for us to keep this position and I am very happy that through the joint efforts of our corporate, banking, dispute resolution and other practice professionals, we again convinced the electors to recognise our leading position on the market.”
